France

Prized left-handed pitching prospect Alexandre Roy from Mount St. Aignan, France, signed a professional contract with the Seattle Mariners earlier this year at the age of 16. Roy's father, Robin Roy, not only pitched for the French National Team, but led the country to its best finish in a major tournament in 1999. Robin Roy led all pitchers with an unblemished ERA while helping France to a third-place finish. In its most recent tournament -- the 2010 European Baseball Championships -- France pushed its way into the second round en route to a sixth-place finish.
